 ‘’ Power Solutions recently negotiated renewals of both our Gas & Electricity supply contracts. To achieve the best cost benefits this involved changing suppliers for both utilities which was overseen & managed by Power Solutions. This has provided us with a valuable reduction in our costs over the length of the new contracts. Power Solutions kept us fully informed of all the steps in the process & were extremely proactive in sorting out any issues that arose during the contract negotiations to ensure the switch happened without hitch.’’ Jerry Griffin Facilities Manager PEI-Genesis UK Ltd  “It was our good fortune to have contact with Power Solutions in September 2009. We had just received from EDF Energy a renewal contract for the supply of electricity for our 135 pitch touring park. The new contract offered a huge increase in tariff and a request to change the metering to a new half hourly system. We have found Power Solutions to be courteous, helpful and informed at all times over the last six months when dealing with our case and the, at times, bewildering choice of tariffs. We confidently recommend Power Solutions to any business facing similar problems with their electricity supply” Mr J.P. Dewhirst Managing Director Dornafield ltd |

CRC presentation for Facilities and Energy Managers Top tips on CRC
Senior Officers: please provide the correct contact details for individuals with the appropriate authority i.e. those with management control of the Primary Member. For a company this should be a Director (registered on Companies House) for a public body or organisation of individuals they should be at an equivalent level, i.e. chief executive, board member, partner, chief constable, executive council member, trustee etc. Excluded use: a large proportion of registrants are incorrectly claiming excluded uses normally because of a misunderstanding that all transport emissions are excluded. This is not the case. The only organisations that should be claiming excluded use are those with half hourly metered electricity supplied in 2008 used for the excluded uses set out within annex 2 of our guide Am I in? Mandated Participants: only Central Government Departments or those organisations who have been specifically named by law to take part should register as Mandated Participants. All other organisations should make an information disclosure or register as a participant depending on their energy supply during the qualification period.
KWh vs MWh: some organisations have incorrectly provided KWh figures for supply rather than the required MWh. Please ensure that you provide your energy supply figures in MWh.
Making changes to your registration: we are currently producing guidance on how to make changes to your details once you have completed your registration. This will be available shortly on our CRC webpages. Contact details can be changed as soon as you have enrolled and completed your registration. To make any other changes to your registration please contact us.
